VINYL DECAL QUESTIONS
Are your decals waterproof? Yes! All our decals are made with premium Oracal 651 vinyl that is completely waterproof and weather-resistant. They can withstand rain, car washes, snow, and outdoor conditions.
How long do vinyl decals last? With proper application and care, our decals last 3-5+ years outdoors. Indoor applications can last even longer. They're UV-protected so they won't fade in sunlight.
What surfaces can I apply decals to? Our decals stick to any smooth, clean surface including:
Car windows and bumpers
Laptops and tablets
Phone cases
Water bottles and tumblers
Mirrors
Notebooks and journals
Guitars and instruments
Walls (smooth painted surfaces)
Any other smooth, non-porous surface
Will the decal damage my car? No! Our vinyl is designed to be removable without leaving residue when properly removed. Always remove slowly and carefully at a 45-degree angle. Avoid applying to freshly painted surfaces (wait 90 days).
Can I put decals on textured surfaces? Decals work best on smooth surfaces. Textured surfaces may cause the edges to lift over time.
APPLICATION & CARE
How do I apply my decal?
Clean the surface thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and let dry
Peel the backing paper away from the decal
Position the decal on your surface
Use a credit card or squeegee to smooth out bubbles from center to edges
Slowly peel away the transfer tape at a 45-degree angle
Wait 24-48 hours before exposing to water or extreme temperatures
Detailed instructions are included with every order.
What if I get bubbles during application? Small bubbles can be smoothed out with a credit card. For stubborn bubbles, carefully lift the decal and reapply. Tiny bubbles (pinpoint size) will usually disappear on their own within 24-48 hours.
Can I reuse a vinyl decal? No, vinyl decals are designed for one-time application. Once removed, the adhesive will not restick properly.
How do I remove a decal? Peel slowly at a 45-degree angle. For stubborn decals, use a hairdryer to warm the vinyl slightly, which makes removal easier. Clean any residue with rubbing alcohol or adhesive remover.
How do I care for my decal?
Hand wash recommended for drinkware
Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing
For car decals, touchless car washes are safest (though ours can handle regular car washes)
Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals
